I have been painting and refininshing the hull and spars but what can I do about my sails? The dacron is in good shape with no tears or patches but there are several rust stains. they are also faded to more of a parchment color than white. I don't want to replace them but I would like to get them cleaner without damaging them. any suggestions out there?

I know this is an old thread but I came across the same problems. My numbers have bled and made a messy rusty spot on the sail and overall there is a dirty look to the main and jib. I found this brochure from a local sail maker near me. Hope this helps - http://www.doylesails.com/downloads/DoyleSailCare.pdf
